An Awful Lot of Running

You might not know this, but I'm a Doctor Who fan. It's the sort of television show that one wishes were actually real. That tempts me to say something derogatory about Twilight, but I'll refrain. But anyways, as a fan of the Doctor's, I find the genre of Time-Lord Rock (trock) to be quite entertaining. As with most fan-made art, trock's quality can be very varied in quality, but I've found a song called An Awful Lot of Running by Chameleon Circuit that I particularly enjoy.

It's initial chord progression mimics the Doctor Who theme, and the theme pops up in many areas of the song. As a side note, this song will make no sense unless you check out the Doctor Who page on wikipedia, available through the finely crafted link above.


An Awful Lot of Running

He is like fire, burning through time
As old as forever, but fast in his prime
I saw his blue spaceship materialise
He stepped out and said to me, "run for your life!"

I don't know why I never thought to ask him for his name
But I really don't think he'd have told me the truth anyway
But you know, that's ok

It's completely terrifying but it's so so exciting
He said I was brilliant and I could change the world
So many places I've been and there's so much more to see
We've got galaxies and planets and moons
And an awful lot of running to do

As a full-time companion he gave me a key
And a phone with a signal in every galaxy
As we fell through the vortex I felt so free
Please don't let this danger just be another dream

Because my life before you was unreasonably mundane
I've never been happier although we face death every day
I wouldn't have it any other way

It's completely terrifying but it's so so exciting
He said I was brilliant and I could change the world
So many places I've been and there's so much more to see
We've got galaxies and planets and moons
And an awful lot of running to do

You know you can fix that chameleon circuit if you just try hotwiring the fragment links and superseding the binary binary binary binary binary binary binary binary binary binary binary *gasp*

It's completely terrifying but it's so so exciting
He said I was brilliant and I could change the world
So many places I've been and there's so much more to see
We've got galaxies and planets and moons
And an awful lot of running ... to do
